My guess is because of shareholder pressure
Of course, the lesson to be learned that no company ever learns: Don't go public. Don't ever go public!

As much as I hate Roger Stone and think he should go to prison for many other reasons, can somebody point out the timestamp in the video where he says he's "plotting a coup for November"? I watched the whole thing and all I got was him shit-talking Bill Burr and Jared Kushner, and some toothless bullshit about state-based lawsuits, which will fly just as miserably as it did in 2020. Then they talked about Harris' ethicity, and whether it's a good political argument for the campaign or not.
Honestly, it's this reporter who's trying really really fucking hard to put words in his mouth, and Roger is being very careful about the direction of the conversation, while still entertaining this fake supporter's arguments. This whole article stinks of some undercover reporter getting a lukewarm interview and trying to turn it into some sensational headline.
This video isn't "damning" at all. Bullshit headlines like this makes all of the actual investigative journalism look bad.
It's made much worse by the games "journalists" industry paying too much attention to X. They find some crackpot spouting off controversy, elevate that shit to the moon, and suddenly other people are talking about this opinion that only lives in a vacuum.
IGN, PCGamer, RPS, Kotaku... they all live for this shit.
If anything is a "Bethesda-killer", it's games like Outer Wilds, not The Outer Worlds.
Just a reminder:
Anybody that understands politics understands that the two-party system is shit. They also understand that unless both parties agree that they don't like it and want to willingly allow more competing parties to sabotage their own efforts, it will never change.
So, saying that US democracy is fucked just because of that is a load of bullshit. Almost all democracies have two-party systems like that. Not even fucking Canada wanted to change their FPTP system, even when conservatives were abusing the system for 15 years. It was so bad that liberal voters in 2014 election had to tell their other liberal like-minded candidates "Yes, we like you, and we like your policies, but for the sake of the country's future, we have to vote for Trudeau."
Right now, there's an executive battle to wrestle control of the company away from the original founders. While the founders are probably a bunch of rich assholes, they want to go back to being privately-traded with Tencent's help, and the alternative is so much worse: venture capitalists in a publicly-traded stock market. They have been driving their IPs into the ground, due to overexposure (looking at you, Assassin's Creed). No doubt this whole face-to-face decision was bought on by the capitalist assholes trying to sabotage the company and distract the public from what's actually going on.
he was also heavily losing the black vote.
Of course he was. About 96% of the black population vote Democrat, because they are smart enough to know how much the GOP fucks them over.
Black GOP politicians are about as paradoxical as gay Republicans.
It's not illegal if it's not being enforced.
